So what are Locket and Agnimitra’s fondest memories from their wedding day? “The preparations had started a year in advance. There was a two-storeyed pandal and lots of screens everywhere so that everybody could see me getting married.... A guidebook like this comes in very handy as everything you need is there in it,” smiled Locket.

Agnimitra revealed her make-up and hair disaster. “There was too much chandan… I had atrocious make-up! It was my idea! I wore a lot of rajanigandha… it was like a jungle at the back!” she laughed. It was memorable though. “We shopped for the Benarasi from Calcutta. Those saris are still there in my wardrobe. Partho (her husband) had travelled to Asansol to get married.... Books of this kind are helpful… you are exposed to so much,” she said.
